Improvements
This update offers many reliability and compatibility improvements.
These are just a few of the enhancements and improvements included:
Stickies
▪ Addresses an issue in which Stickies could unexpectedly quit when
creating a new note.
▪ Addresses an issue in which new Stickies are invisible.
▪ Stickies windows can now be minimized (an issue with Mac OS X
10.3.4 through 10.3.8).
Safari
▪ Accessing certain websites, such as msnbc.com, mail.yahoo.com,
ticketmaster.com, and others, no longer displays a "bad server
response" alert that could occur in Safari.
▪ Addresses an issue in which "safe downloads" files are not
automatically opened after downloading.
▪ SSL webpages (pages with URLs that start with "https://";) load
faster in Safari.
▪ Adds some important Verisign root certificates to Safari, allowing
you to connect to certain secure websites that you might not have been
able to surf before.
▪ Adds other trusted root certificates to Safari, such as VISA and
RSA.
Finder
▪ Addresses an issue in which copied files could become fragmented
(but still usable) when you copy more than one file at the same time in
the Finder.
▪ Addresses a rare issue in which a file could become damaged when
copying to a FAT16- or FAT32-formatted volume.
▪ Improves reliability when mounting (making available) a disk image
that's larger than 4.7 GB.
More
▪ Addresses slow vertical tracking and intermittent trackpad behavior
on PowerBook G4 12-inch 1.5GHz, 15-inch 1.67/1.5GHz, and 17-inch
1.67GHz computers.
▪ Adds an "Apple Internal 56k Modem (v.32)" modem choice that you can
use if you have difficulty using Verizon's Airfone Jet Connect service.
▪ Addresses an issue with Mac OS X 10.3.6 and later in which the
Calculator window won't appear if the Speak Button Pressed or Speak
Total options are enabled.
▪ Fixes an issue at the login window, where clicking the small space
just below the bottom user account picture would produce this alert:
"Internal Error *** -[NSCF Array objectAtIndex:]: index(-1) beyond
bounds (X)" (where X is the number of user accounts shown).
▪ Addresses an issue in which the startup time in Mac OS X 10.3.6
through 10.3.8 may be extended if a large number of PostScript fonts
are installed.
▪ If your PowerBook G4 sometimes wakes up with a kernel panic,
installing this update may help.
▪ Addresses a data loss issue that could occur when syncing your
iDisk at the same time that .Mac servers are experiencing heavy usage.
▪ Avoids a potential Mail issue if the application is running when
Daylight Savings Time changes.
▪ Addresses some formatting issues that could occur when replying to
HTML messages in Mail.
